Classical Roman law knows two different notions of ‘ius publicum’: that of Ulpian, according to which the ‘publicum ius est quod ad statum rei Romanae spectat’, and that of Papinian, according to which ‘ius publicum privatorum pactis mutari non potest’. In Papinian's thought, this rule does not express a general classification of law or even an opposition between public law and private law, but a principle that has been interpreted differently over the centuries. This article aims to examine the different interpretations proposed, from Bartolus to Portalis, restoring its original meaning to Papinian’s rule.

Abstract
Classical Roman law knows two different notions of ‘ius publicum’: that of Ulpian, according to which the ‘publicum ius est quod ad statum rei Romanae spectat’, and that of Papinian, according to which ‘ius publicum privatorum pactis mutari non potest’. In Papinian's thought, this rule does not express a general classification of law or even an opposition between public law and private law, but a principle that has been interpreted differently over the centuries. This article aims to examine the different interpretations proposed, from Bartolus to Portalis, restoring its original meaning to Papinian’s rule.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
